Legendary actor and one of the best movie producers in Africa, Kunle Afolayan has surprised many by acting in Okikiola The Fisherman,\u00a0 movie produced by Lovely Pink Media owned by celebrated journalist, Adeola Agoro and her partner, Titilope Ejimagwa.<\/p>\n

For several years, Kunle Afolayan has been known to concentrate only on churning out great movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The producer of award winning movie, Anikulapo had over the years carved a name for himself with several other award winning movies like Phone Swap, Figurine, October 1 and many others.<\/p>\n

It is a well known fact that he has got his hands filled with several movie projects that he hardly has time to appear in other people\u2019s movie, except a few appearances in Tunde Kilani\u2019s movies.<\/p>\n

It is thus a thing of surprise that he has featured in Okikiola The Fisherman.<\/p>\n

His appearance in the soon to be released movie has raised the bar for the producers of the movie as well as the Director, Segun Ogungbe and the crew.<\/p>\n

In appreciating his rare magnanimous nature, Adeola Agoro has penned a message to him:<\/p>\n

Dear Kunle Afolayan,<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t pretend not to know that you went out of your regular practices to appear in Okikiola The Fisherman.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

When I spoke with you the first time about the movie, you were deeply engaged on the set of one of the legendary movies you\u2019re known for. I remember you saying that you wouldn\u2019t have time to work on other projects till the end of the year.<\/p>\n

That was a very nice way of turning me down.<\/p>\n

I must have known that you have so much on your plate to have time for other projects.<\/p>\n

And the word out there is that you hardly appear in other projects apart from your own and Uncle Tunde Kelani\u2019s.<\/p>\n

That has stood you out as one who is not only always so busy, but one who stays with the best.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

At Lovely Pink Media Ltd, we are babies, so we can\u2019t even claim rights near the\u00a0 best, yet you gave us this honour.<\/p>\n

This singular act on your part has shown the leadership abilities in you. You\u2019ve whispered and we\u2019ve heard you clearly. You\u2019re saying that with you. our young shall grow. You have carried us in your hands and we feel the nurturing.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
